And on the second day her creator said “go get a job!”
And she went to work
Words cannot express the smile on my face right now, for the first time since I fired the truck up I have enough wood to get to work for a week and then some!
It is all getting more fun by the chunk,chunk,chunk…
Bob
Jealous, so much wood, and that you can drive on such large pieces.
I replicated the size of Mike Gibbs chunks ( I saved back just a handful of them just so I could match them) because my truck had amazing acceleration on his fuel!
Have you tested small pieces about 1 “x 1.5” x1.5 "in your unit?
I think mine works better with small pieces and it never hangs with these.
Now we have different units, but the space where the wood is located is quite similar.
Yes that is almost exactly the size of my sawed wood and runs very well and since going to that size I have not had a single bridge in the last month. But to get the performance of chunked wood from the motor I was mixing in char to make rocket fuel. We will see how well it runs on these chunks come Monday when I drive the truck to work
Marcus I have an excess of bags, you are welcome to 30 or so and I can even deliver to your work as long as I get to play with the chunker.
I have a bunch more at home I just didn’t bring that many with me, I didn’t think it would be so efficient. But you are of course more then welcome to come down anytime any play with the chunker
Ran the chunker for a bit today and finished up the last couple big pallets I had, will need to bring in more bags tomorrow
Having tons of motor fuel and can not think of any place to go . I considered going out in the fields and pastures and drive in circles but to muddy for that.
I have ask the wife several times if anywhere she needed to go and now when I call her name she just says no before I can ask .
Are you sure she is not thinking you are going ask her to bag up more wood?
This is the level I need to get on when my V10 gets built!
Haha, that’s too funny
@Norman89 This is what I was talking about the other day - with a lot of fuel you will eventually run out of places to go.
I’m fortunate to live where it’s cold enough I can do away with at least 100 pounds of wood a day without driving anywhere. Keeps the wood piles at a reasonable level, until I can come up with another destination
Haha if I had a supply like Wayne does I would be out aimlessly driving in the mountains like I did as a teenager when gas was 1.99$, spending whole weekends just exploring to the end of every gravel and dirt road in the county. Then move to the next county the next weekend
An old saw at my brother’s, still in operation, look at the surface of the boards as if they were planed, and for tolerance in thickness you need to have a digital micrometer.
Tone, those are some pretty boards.
Is that beech?
Hi Jo, there is no beech, it is all oak, but you can see that it is a different color depending on the location where it grew.
Ha, we have neither up here, so I couldn´t tell
Wow that is some beautiful oak. There is a skilled sawer at work with his sawmill. Craftsmanship all the way.
Bob
Tone, with oak trees like that, there are branches and with those branches cut up would burn great in a gasifier.
